New issues

and interesting packs of cards

Karin Yan of Bonefide Playing Cards in Barcelona (www.bonafideplayingcards.com) proposed in January this year a pack of cards named “Nouveau”. The crowd funding campaign failed. Three month later the artist started a new campaign and failed again. Discouraged? No. Her pack was so nice that after Grotesque (2014) and Delirium (2015), it was chosen by United Cardists (unitedcardists.com) to be the official 2016 annual pack. Some modifications have been made to the original design. About the cards, the court cards have been inspired by the historical and mythological heroes and heroines traditionally featured in the French playing cards since the 16th century. Then, all cards have been designed following the Art Nouveau style.
